Hi David,
A script like this would be invaluable. I'm not sure I quite understand though. status is
not an option to /etc/init.d/mimedefang on my system:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]# /etc/init.d/mimedefang
Usage: /etc/init.d/mimedefang {start|stop|restart|reread|reload}When I run the script manually, I get this message back:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]# ./mimedefang-status.pl MIMEDefang appears to have stopped; restarting...
but Mimedefang wasn't in an error state at the time.
When I ran the script, it stops then starts mimedefang (see snippet from /var/log/maillog) but it seems like it stops then starts it no matter what it's status is. Somehow I don't think I want Mimedefang stopped & started every 5 minutes regardless.... what am I missing in my understanding here?
Thanks,
Lisa Casey

Here's a shell script you might want to run every 5 minutes from cron. Modify it for your local setup as appropriate.
#!/bin/sh /etc/init.d/mimedefang status > /dev/null 2>&1 if test $? != 0 ; then /etc/init.d/mimedefang stop > /dev/null 2>&1 sleep 2 echo "MIMEDefang appears to have stopped; restarting..." /etc/init.d/mimedefang start > /dev/null 2>&1 fi
